Black Rockfish, also known as Sebastes melanops, is a species of fish found primarily along the Pacific coast of North America. They inhabit rocky reefs and coastal waters, typically at depths ranging from 30 to 300 feet. Black Rockfish are recognized for their dark coloration and can grow up to 30 inches in length. This fish is popular among anglers due to its firm, white flesh and mild flavor, making it a sought-after catch for both recreational and commercial fishing. Black Rockfish are also an important part of the marine ecosystem, serving as prey for larger predators like seabirds and marine mammals.
